If I were a dentist And had an apprentice, I would be sure to make the apprentice-dentist aware: That it's no good getting patients to come in, if, when they arrive, no one able and willing to clean their teeth is there. Before you can start filling teeth, or prescribing treatments, pills, or ointments, First make sure that your receptionist is able to make correct appointments. These particular DDS-es may know a lot of dental physiology and chemistry, But making the patient waste travel-time, and then not having someone in ... read more

What a waste of time. I called for an appointment for extractions, the lady did not even ask me if i had dental insurance, she booked me and I had to ask her if they take my dental insurance. I went for a consultation for extractions and other routine care. Waited an hour to tell me they don't do extractions and that i need to bring in my own x rays because my health insurance covers them only once every 3 years which I doubt. This said, I have not seen Dr Ngozi Etufugh so I would not comment on her work. The building is in ... read more

Fantastic! I had a root canal that went south and needed an extraction. Dr. Etufugh was professional, personable and very kind. Her staff was also top notch. I had requested sedation for the procedure, and went under so fast that I didn't have time to panic. After the procedure, the staff was very concerned for my well-being. I am terrified of dentists, and Dr. Etufugh did everything to alleviate my fears.

Dr. Etufugh herself is good however, horrible experience with the receptionist staff. I had to cancel my oral surgery due to the staff located across the street from City Hall Park. The staff was unhelpful and won’t lift a finger in trying to determine if a Preauthorization was approved by the insurance or not(a simple look at the patient chart would have been able to answer that question but Nope). Getting hold of the staff is almost impossible on the phone when I myself have witness in person that the staff members will le... read more

I wish I had read these reviews and not blindly trusted my referring dentist. I also wish I had acknowledged the first, second and fourth red flag and left. I went in for a premolar extraction that was aggressively done by Dr Etufugh in 5 to 8 minutes and caused a puncture of my sinus and internal bleeding. Dr Etufugh was the only surgeon on call that day, I counted during my 5 hour wait she went through 20 patients in 5 hours which means she did extractions for 4 patients per hour. An extraction average time is 30 minutes. ... read more

Terrible bedside manner. Very condescending and judgmental. Recommended neurotoxin injections for TMD which is last resort dangerous, very expensive, not covered by insurance and there are many other rxs that are safer than this that she didn't even mention. Kept going on about cosmetic benefits, which was NOT the point of my visit. She should not be able to practice

Uses sedation: you sleep when you wake up you are done.

Very unprofessional. Her entire focus is money that was already guaranteed instead of patient care. Her staff have no clue how to run an office or business.

I wish if I didn't have to give a star for this uncouth individual. She lacks proper interpersonal skills, is unprofessional and did not genuinely take accountability when erred. I pray that I never have to cross paths with her again.
